Chapter 9 Chapter Nine

In order for Rong Qing to return to the Chengde barracks with peace of mind, his family members and second uncle lied to him, saying that Yin'er had indeed married into Prince Rui's mansion.When Rong Qing saw Yin'er in the wedding party, he was already puzzled, and he believed the words of the second uncle and others even more.But he still refused to give up, and stayed outside the gambling hall for several days, looking for the opportunity to find Yin'er's brother Fugui, and asked him the truth to prove this painful fact. Shang Enhai paid him off, so he intentionally lied to Rong Qing, saying that Rong Qing's family retired first, and he had nothing to do with whoever his sister married.These few words made Rong Qing choke, unable to speak for a long time.

Heartbroken and despairing, Rong Qing seems to have lost his soul, spending all day in restaurants.One day, he drank too much wine, climbed over the high courtyard wall in the dark, and entered Ruiwang's mansion. In the end, he was beaten up by the guards of Ruiwang's mansion, and then he was sent home with his hands and feet tied.As soon as he got home, the Chengde military camp had already sent someone to wait for him here, saying that he had escaped from the barracks privately and came to arrest him with the commander's warrant, and escorted him back to Chengde immediately.General Ye He was so angry that he shouted again and again: Unworthy descendants!Unworthy descendants!In this way, the old general personally tied up his son and handed it over to the guards from Chengde, and they returned to the guard camp of Chengde Mansion.

Two sergeants escorted Rong Qing to the guard camp and handed it over to the barracks officer on duty that day. The officer on duty took Rong Qing to Zuo Jianrui camp and asked him to stay in the shed to wait for orders.As soon as the brothers in the camp saw Rong Qing, they immediately told him that because he left without permission, Yuan Liu urged the leader to take responsibility for him, so he was ordered by the commander to be taken into prison and sentenced to severe punishment several times. When Rong Qing heard that Yuan Liu was troubled because of him, he became anxious, stomped his feet and went to the military tent to find the battalion officer, and explained the situation to him.Everyone persuaded him not to let him go, because he would not be able to help if the trouble was not good, and it would make things more complicated.He won't listen, I must go, no, I must go to see Yuanliu.He was arguing to see Yuan Liu when a majestic battalion officer in his late thirties, accompanied by the officer on duty, suddenly appeared at the gate of the barracks with a few imperial guards.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do for a while.The battalion officer glanced at the crowd, then walked up to Rong Qing, staring at him closely.

You are Rongqing, right?asked the battalion officer.There were hundreds of people in the camp, Rong Qing hadn't been here for long, although he couldn't recognize them clearly, he still remembered their general appearance.He asked this on purpose to show his prestige. Rong Qing sees the battalion officer!Rong Qing hurriedly saluted. Do you want to see Yuan Liu?The battalion officer remained calm, while Rong Qing avoided the other party's stern gaze and nodded. Got it!The battalion officer suddenly changed his face. The imperial guards rushed forward, grabbed Rong Qing, and escorted him to the open space in front of the military tent.A few wooden stakes were erected in the open space. These wooden stakes were used to show the public. After the officers and soldiers who violated the military regulations were punished, they were tied here so that the entire battalion could see them, which had the effect of killing everyone.

Rong Qing saw Yuan Liu tied to one of the stakes, and felt sorry for him in his heart. First of all, he shouldn't have lied to him, and he shouldn't have dragged on for so long. Before he left, Yuan Liu repeatedly asked him to go back quickly, and he would decide within ten days at most. To come back, I didn't expect him to go away for twenty days. Master Six!I, Rong Qing, glanced at each other guiltily, and the battalion officer asked his subordinates to tie Rong Qing to a wooden stake adjacent to Yuan Liu, then glanced at Rong Qing and Yuan Liu, and shouted sharply: This is called two grasshoppers on a rope, if you can't jump, you can't fly him!Open your dog eyes for me, whoever dares to run away, whoever dares to let go, the same!

It's nothing to do with Liu Ye, I sneaked away by myself!Rong Qing raised his voice and cried out. Brothers!Yuan Liu smiled miserably, come on, don't be brave.I've already said that it's my fault, it's none of your business! No, it's not your fault, it's none of your business!I'm not good, I broke the camp rules, and I'm going to be punished. shut up!The battalion officer stepped forward and slapped Rong Qing across the face, and said with a sneer, you are all fine, so who am I to care about?Take money from others and help them eliminate disasters, don't say that you are eating the emperor's food and money!Just leave if you want?I didn't open a big car shop!

Where are you talking so much nonsense?The sixth elder has arms, legs, and a head, so I'll give it to you wherever I want!Yuan Liu yelled on purpose, trying to attract the battalion officer's attention.He thought to himself that he had already suffered a lot, so that Rong Qing would not suffer any more. I haven't asked you yet, ask him!The battalion officer glared at Yuan Liu, then turned to face Rong Qing, why did you go to Beijing?Hire me and save your life! Rong Qing gritted his teeth and remained silent. Can't you go down the steps?When the battalion officer saw that he didn't speak, he immediately jumped into a rage, pointed at the imperial guards under him and said, "Fuck!"One counts as one, and each will give him ten lashes!Come next to me, death counts as mine.

The guards who enforced the law held whips in their hands, and hesitantly walked up to Rong Qing.The battalion officer became angry, and he whipped the imperial army first, then the man raised his arm helplessly, and whipped Rong Qing.Where is itching?Work hard!The battalion officer yelled in dissatisfaction, the imperial guards made up their minds and pumped Rong Qing hard, Rong Qing gritted his teeth and held back. grandson!Lei Gong beats tofu, you only pick soft bullies!Come at me if you have the ability!Yuan Liu shouted.However, the battalion officer ignored him and insisted on ordering his subordinates to slap Rong Qing hard.

Rong Qing let the other party whip him, gritted his teeth and remained silent. Compared with the pain in his heart, the pain on the flesh seemed nothing. Thinking of everything he and Yin'er had encountered in the past six months, especially Thinking that Yin'er was married to Prince Rui's mansion by the old queen, and her man was the demented man tied to the horse, he really felt that it was meaningless to live in this world.Liu Ye, let them fight, don't help me, I don't want to live anymore, he thought this in his heart, but didn't say it out of his mouth, for fear that the battalion officer would hear that he didn't want to live anymore, and would turn around and deal with Yuan Liu again. It caused Yuan Liu a lot of trouble, so he can no longer be dragged into suffering.

Yuan Liu, who is bold by nature, saw the whip falling on Rong Qing like raindrops, he let others ignore him no matter what, worried that if Rong Qing couldn't hold on and died, how would he explain to Master Enhai, he couldn't help thinking of this He yelled at the battalion officer, intending to annoy him: You dare not offend grandpa!Hahaha what a boy, how filial! You son of a bitch, you asked for this!The battalion officer knew the trick he was playing, so he insisted on ignoring him, but the more the other party scolded, the worse it sounded. In front of all his subordinates, he couldn't keep his face down. He reached out and grabbed the whip from a law enforcement guard, and whipped Yuan six.

Battalion Officer!I beg you, Rong Qing, to see that the battalion officer was too ruthless, and begged bitterly. This matter really has nothing to do with Liu Ye. I miss home, so I made up excuses to coax him. He wouldn't let me go, so I ran away without telling him. Please, hit me if you want to hit me, I won’t feel wronged if you kill me The battalion officer came up madly, ignored Rong Qing at all, squeezed out a series of grinning laughter from his suffocated throat, and swung the cowhide whip at Yuan Liu violently.At first Yuan Liu kept scolding, but then the scolding became smaller and smaller, and then it became silent, and he couldn't even catch his breath If the fight continues like this, let alone a human being, even a cow can't carry it.Faced with such a situation, Rong Qing closed his eyes in frustration, regretting endlessly, hating himself for getting Yuan Liu involved.Although Yuan Liu has a bad temper, he is generous and chivalrous. Many brothers in the Jianrui camp have received a lot of benefits from him. Seeing that the camp officials are really fighting Yuan Liu to death, everyone is anxious They all knelt down beside the battalion officer, shouting: My lord, please spare Yuan Liu! The battalion officer was stunned for a moment, then furious: You want to shake the sky!He screamed fiercely, seeing the eyes staring at him all around, the whip in his hand could not help but soften.In order to make it easier for him to step down, he stepped forward and grabbed Yuan Liu's hair, asking him if he was convinced?Unexpectedly, Yuan Liu opened his eyes, spit on the battalion officer's face with a bah, and smiled while enduring the severe pain of the wound: Where did your energy go?Keep it all for the girls? The battalion officer, who was about to give up because of the feelings of the guards, was so provoked by Yuan Liu that his face turned blue with anger. He reached out to wipe the spittle off his face, raised his whip and whipped Yuan Liu hard again. You bastard, if I don't believe that your flesh is harder than my whip, I will beat you to death!The battalion officer was beating and scolding, and the brothers of Jianruiying felt distressed when they saw it. The military law was like a mountain, and Yuan Liu refused to give the battalion officer face, so he couldn't persuade him.At this moment, a pro-army by the commander's side ran to the battalion officer and shouted in a low voice: "Master battalion officer, pass on to the commander!" No time now!The battalion officer glanced at each other. The soldiers hastily dragged the battalion officer out of the crowd, and whispered to him that someone from Beijing had sent a message, that Rong Qing was the nephew of Lord Enhai, the leader of the Qing Dynasty, and the commander asked him to release him quickly.As soon as the battalion officer heard Enhai's name, he became discouraged, and complained in a low voice why the soldiers didn't say earlier, I was the villain!The battalion officer said while throwing down the whip in his hand, and left in a fit of anger The next day they had morning exercises, Yuan Liu and Rong Qing couldn't do morning exercises because they were beaten, they lay on the kang in the shed to recover from their injuries, and when they mentioned what happened yesterday, Yuan Liu said disapprovingly to Rong Qing, thanks to your uncle's letter, No, your sixth brother has taken advantage of him all over. Sixth Master, I have troubled you. Hi, saying that would be a long way off.Transition on the same boat, five hundred years of fate.Don't say that we mix food in the same pot.Yuan Liu got excited, grinned and blew, do you know why I scolded him to death?Listen to Brother Six's preaching.Catch up with this heat, we won't admit defeat, it really hurts to hold it back.I'll just scold him, scold him for being a bloody sprinkler!Learn a little next time. Seeing Rong Qing frowning and not speaking, Yuan Liu remembered his private leave and asked him how he went back to Beijing this time. Rong Qing lowered his head, gritted his gums and did not speak. If I don't ask about anything, you just say it's going to happen?Although Yuan Liu didn't know why he went back this time, one thing was that he was not because of his grandmother's illness at all, because his grandmother died long before he joined the army.In general, the man has nothing to hide, and most of the things he makes up to deceive people are his children's affair, and the last time he invited him to visit the brothel, not only did he not appreciate him, but he heard that he kicked Miss Ying out of bed in the middle of the night, so It is estimated that he must be such a thing. Rong Qing wanted to finish talking, don't mention it.This kind of discouraging words, but thinking of Yuan Liu's suffering so much for himself, the words turned into a heavy sentence on his lips, it was done! Come on, this whip was not in vain!Yuan Liu patted the surface of the kang happily, trying to get up with his hands supporting his body, but he didn't expect that the wounds on his body would hurt so much when he turned over, he instinctively snorted, and the body he had just lifted fell heavily on the ground again. On the kang. Master Six!Seeing him beaten like this, Rong Qing felt really sorry, and endured the pain, crawled from the kang to Yuan Liu's side. Remove the name of that father and call him brother. elder brother?Rong Qing felt hot in his heart, and immediately said, no, you are friends with my uncle. There is no age for a hero, and there is no age for the rivers and lakes!I'll talk to your uncle alone, after all, I'm also your uncle's subordinate. No no, no, this is not appropriate! how?Yuan Liu's face was filled with displeasure, thinking that I'm a soldier, not good enough for your young master? Rong Qing thought that if Yuan Liu hadn't deliberately scolded the battalion officer yesterday, he would definitely have suffered more flesh and blood, he was too late to be grateful, and the other party thought he looked down on him.In a panic, he immediately got off the kang regardless of the pain on his body, knelt down beside the head of the Yuanliu kang, and was so excited that tears filled his eyes: Brother Six!From now on, you are my real brother. get up!get up!Yuan Liu lay on the pillow, stretched out his hand to hold Rong Qing's hands with great difficulty, panting heavily while panting, but take it seriously, from now on you are my real brother! Hideko is dead.Yin'er stood by the south-facing window of the lower room, touching the pair of mountain mink knee pads that Xiuzi had given her, looking at the early winter sunset on the tile ridge of the main hall outside the window, with a very solemn expression.Thinking that Xiuzi had lived in this servant room before leaving the palace, and the scene of the wedding ceremony that day was still vivid in his memory, especially seeing the stupid look of the young Qiye of Ruiwang's family, Yin'er had a foreboding feeling in his heart at that time, but when She was still shocked when she heard the news of her death with her own ears, and felt that she had gone too fast That afternoon, not long after Emperor Guangxu left, King Rui came to visit Empress Dowager Cixi, who was waiting for Cixi to smoke.Cixi didn't speak, so she didn't avoid it. Li Lianying and Liu Ye'er were also present at the time.Seeing King Rui, Lafayette seemed very happy. I don't know if it was because she had a good conversation with the emperor just now, or because she missed Xiuzi. As soon as they met, she smiled and said to King Rui who was kneeling on the ground: The in-laws are here. bring? Lafayette!The slave King Rui lay on the ground for a long time, not daring to raise his head, as if he had something to hide. If you don't bring her here, I'll send someone to pick her up. Cixi despises people talking to her the most, and half-jokingly half-seriously said to King Rui: "Here, I'll treat her to dinner later."This time, your family got a big deal, and I lost a lot! The slave is guilty, the slave deserves to die! What is this called.Cixi didn't know why, so she said, the married woman is the water poured out.I regret that I can't come back.Take it easy you. Lafayette, I know that Lafayette's kindness is great, but it's just Miss Xiu and her king Rui who can't speak for a long time.Li Lianying was in a hurry, and tried her best to wink at King Rui, but at this moment, he was already in a state of confusion, so he couldn't care less about looking at others.Yin'er saw pea-sized beads of sweat on King Rui's forehead, his lips opened and closed like fish out of water, but he couldn't make a sound, and the lively things in his heart were tightly held together, and he instinctively felt that something had happened thing. Say, what happened?Cixi shouted sharply, did your son bully her?Anyway, it's not cheap for outsiders, let me tell you, don't look at her as a palace daughter, you are not allowed to bully her!Don't take the Stove Lord as a god! Back to Lafayette, the slave's seventh daughter-in-law, she hanged herself last night and King Rui lay on the ground, trembling with fright. After hearing King Rui's reply, Cixi was stunned, her whole body went into a convulsion, and the Buddhist beads in her hand immediately fell to the ground.Then all was silent.Yin'er knelt down, reached out to touch the Buddhist beads, and gently handed them to Cixi.Cixi took the beads calmly, but Yin'er still felt the old man's hands tremble slightly, and the fingertips felt cool. King Rui lay on the ground and kept saying that he was guilty. He went to the palace to plead guilty for Xiuzi's death. Well how could she die?Cixi tried her best to restrain her emotions and asked King Rui, but just as the other party was about to reply, Cixi felt that there was something wrong with the crowd, so she glanced at Li Lianying.Li Lianying immediately waved Yin'er and another court lady to leave. Yin'er went to the door of the apse, which was close to the screen, she didn't dare to go far, she was waiting to send her in to serve Lafayette at any time.She knew that when the old man was happy or unhappy, or when something special happened, she always had to be waited on for her to smoke a few bags of cigarettes.King Rui talked with Lafayette for a full meal in the East Room, and finally left accompanied by Li Lianying.You could see the frustration on King Rui's face.While seeing off King Rui, Li Lianying told Yin'er in a low voice to return to Cixi's side to serve Jingyan. Yin'er had been prepared for a long time, quickly loaded the cigarette, knelt on the ground and handed the long cigarette holder to Cixi's mouth.The old man bit his cigarette holder, smoked two bags of cigarettes silently, and suddenly lowered his head to look at Yin'er. Xiuzi taught you how to respect cigarettes?Cixi's voice was very low, and her eyes were a little dazed. Yes, it was taught by Aunt Xiu. No wonder the method is the same.The shredded tobacco is neither dry nor damp, and the paper matchmaker is neither tight nor loose Cixi sighed and glanced at the copper cigarette pouch in Yin'er's hand.Yin'er immediately understood what she meant, and handed her another bag of cigarettes. Some people say that Xiuzi disobeyed orders with death and deliberately opposed me. Cixi looked at the clouds of smoke, as if talking to herself or chanting to her children.Yin'er was so frightened that she lowered her head, staring at Cixi's flowerpot-soled shoes, not even daring to breathe. Yin'er, what do you think?Blame it on me or herself?The more she dared not speak out, Cixi chose to ask her by name. Yin'er half opened her mouth in bewilderment. No one here, just talk. Back to Lafayette, this is life!Yin'er thinks of Qian'er from Xiuzi, and then thinks of herself, so many daughters of good people, they just happened to meet, it's not fate or anything. Well, well said, it is fate, everything is fate.Cixi nodded again and again, somewhat relieved on her face.Maybe Xiuzi should have died long ago. If she died at her hands the first time, but this time, she died at Rui Wang's house, how could she be said to be against him?On the contrary, it was her filial piety that Xiuzi still cared about her as the master when she was dying. Cixi silently looked out the window.After a while, he suddenly waved his hand and said to Yin'er: "There is nothing for you here."Yin'er hurriedly kowtowed to pay her respects, then turned sideways and retreated towards the door.The moment she raised the door curtain, she suddenly saw a layer of tear mist welling up in Cixi's eye sockets.She knew very well that Lafayette never revealed his thoughts easily, let alone let others know the secrets deep in his heart, so she hurriedly lowered her head, pretended that she didn't see anything, turned around and left. Looking at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, Xiuzi's words suddenly sounded in Yin'er's ears: One day I will be gone, you may be able to taste some of my words if you think about them carefully.At first glance, these words are out of context.Now that I think about it carefully, what Xiuzi said and what she didn't say, including her death, she seems to have predicted that she would go on this road of no return. She had nightmares for several nights.Dreaming of Xiuzi's melancholy eyes, always staring at her and never talking, no matter how she asked her, she would not open her mouth.Once Yin'er woke up from a nightmare, sat on the kang panting, folded her hands on her chest, and murmured: Aunt Xiu!Please, don't scare me.She read and lay down.She didn't think about the real spirit, and she never had any nightmares that night.Yin'er felt strange, and after thinking about it the next day, she suddenly remembered that Xiuzi must have come to ask for incense.Her parents died since she was a child, and she entered the palace when she was less than thirteen years old. She has no relatives in the world, and she has no home. The palace is her home. I am the only disciple in her palace. If she doesn't ask me for incense, who can she ask for incense? The rules in the palace are strict. Except for the ancestors of the royal Aixinjueluo family, no one is allowed to burn incense and kowtow for any clan with a foreign surname, even Cixi, who enjoys the highest power, is no exception.Whenever the Yehenala family offered sacrifices to their ancestors, Cixi could only burn incense and kowtow at the Biyun Temple in Xishan to show her heart, so Yin'er wanted to light a stick of incense for Xiuzi and burn some paper money. It must be a head-scratching thing to get to the top. After dinner the next day, Yin'er walked alone to the Buddhist hall in the apse.In winter, dinner is served at five o'clock, and it takes about an hour after the meal until it is completely dark. During this period of time called the back kick, the day's affairs are almost busy, and the maids and eunuchs use this time to busy themselves with their own affairs. , Such as shaving hair, cutting nails, washing clothes and tidying up the room, or hiding in twos and threes in the next room to chat and so on. She made her way carefully across the backyard.As she walked, she whispered in her heart, begging Xiuzi's spirit in heaven to bless her, and sure enough, she didn't meet anyone along the way.After leaving the backyard gate, turn east and you will find the Buddhist hall.In the Buddhist hall, there is usually only one elderly eunuch guarding there. Except for Cixi who comes every three to five days, they are usually idle.When she arrived at the door of the Buddhist hall, she had already thought about it. If the old eunuch was inside and asked her what happened, she would say that she lost the jade hairpin on her head when she came here in the morning, so she came to look for it.Of course, it would be best if he wasn't there.She knew that the old eunuch was bored and would often take advantage of this spare time to chat elsewhere, as long as he was not around, she would be able to fulfill this wish for Xiuzi. Yin'er stood by the door for a while, seeing that the door of the Buddhist hall was ajar, and the ever-burning lamp in front of the altar was dimly lit inside, and a strong scent of sandalwood overflowed from the crack of the door. She gently pushed the door open, coughed twice on purpose, Seeing that there was no movement inside, he called Huang Gonggong in a low voice.She walked around the Buddhist hall, and just as she expected, Eunuch Huang was not here.She walked to the door and looked around. There was no movement outside, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She gently closed the door of the Buddhist hall, turned around and walked to the altar, lit a stick of incense and put it in the incense burner, and took out the paper money she had prepared in advance from her bosom.Yin'er respects cigarettes, and she has a lot of straw paper on hand. She cuts the straw paper into palm-sized squares and puts it in her bosom. It is regarded as paper money for Aunt Xiu in the underworld, so that she will not suffer poverty underground.She lit the paper money on the candle, knelt on the ground and kowtowed while burning the paper money, muttering something in her mouth, begging Bodhisattva to bless Aunt Xiu to be reborn into a good family in her next life At first she cried for Xiuzi, but when Yuxiuzi thought of herself and Rong Qing, she felt even more sad.There was no news about Rong Qing recently, and every time she asked her mother and sister-in-law, they seemed to avoid them intentionally.The last time my sister-in-law came to see her, she slipped her tongue and said that Rongqing's parents wanted to ask for a partial house for their son, but Rongqing refused and quarreled with the family.She asked her sister-in-law for details, but her sister-in-law refused to answer directly, but only comforted her, saying that the Rong family only had such a son, and it was human nature to want to have a grandson as soon as possible. Why didn't she understand this truth.Wait another seven years for her, and Rongqing will be twenty-eight. If he wants to, his family will definitely force him to get married early.As the saying goes, where there is no wind, there are no waves, there must be something hidden behind what the sister-in-law said, and she kept it secret because she was afraid that she would be sad.Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel very nervous. If it wasn't for the fact that her brother invited her into the palace, she would have married Rong Qing a long time ago. How wonderful it would be for the two to be together lovingly! Don't blame heaven or earth, this is fate! Thinking of Cixi asking her about Xiuzi, she said it was fate, and so did she.If she had married into Rongqing's family one day earlier, if the emperor's imperial decree had arrived one day later, if her brother hadn't gambled, or if he had lost the bet and hadn't borrowed money from Chang Wuye, if she hadn't been selected in the selection of maids in the clan's mansion that day... In short, if one of these many scenarios happened, she wouldn't be here, living in fear all day long, thinking so hard about Rong Qing all day long.Crying and crying, she cried herself, and the more she cried, the more sad she became. Suddenly, there was a sound behind him.This is the sound of the door being pushed open, and at the same time there is a mess of footsteps.She originally thought that the old eunuch who was watching the Buddhist hall had returned, but judging from the posture of pushing the door and the footsteps of the visitor, she instinctively felt something was wrong, and reached out her hand to throw the paper money on the ground.Before she had time to extinguish the underground fire, a very familiar voice sounded behind her: Take it down!It was from Li Lianying's tight voice. It's over!Yin'er trembled in her heart, and tremblingly got up from the ground.As soon as she turned around, several eunuchs rushed up, twisted her arms behind her back, and pushed her all the way out of the Buddhist hall. On the afternoon when Yuan Liu came back from a business trip to Beijing, he dragged Rong Qing to a small hotel on the street, and the two talked while drinking.Yuan Liu happily talked about the things in Beijing, and finally said that he went to see Rongqing's second uncle, and Master Enhai asked him to bring a message to Rongqing, asking him to stay here and do his job well. While listening to him, Rong Qing was thinking about Yin'er sullenly, and felt that things in the world were too unfair. He and Yin'er were a natural couple, but they were torn apart alive and married to that stupid man in Prince Rui's Mansion.When he thought of this matter, he felt unspeakable pain in his heart, and felt that God was blind!Why did I save that idiot on horseback? If he fell to his death, Yin'er wouldn't have to suffer like this!Then again, even if he didn't save him, and the seventh master died, Yin'er would have to be a widow for the prince's idiot for the rest of his life according to the ancestral system. Thinking that he would never have a chance to be with Yin'er again in this life, he couldn't sleep all night, thinking about how to rescue Yin'er from King Rui's house, and then eloped with her to a place where no one knew them. Place, staying with her for a lifetime, thinking about it at night, even how to enter Rui Wang's house, how to elope with Yin'er, he thought clearly.But when I opened my eyes in the morning, I immediately felt that what I thought about at night could not be more absurd, or it would not work at all. how are youAre you worried?Yuan Liu spoke with energy all over his body. Seeing that the other party was listless, he yawned several times in a row and couldn't help asking. It's okay, I'm listening to you.Rong Qing was awakened by him, and hurriedly explained. Come up to Baoyue Tower with me tonight, Miss Ying is still thinking about you. Come on, forgive me. What's wrong with that girl?Yuan Liu wondered why Rong Qing was so out of his mind all day long.I heard from Zhang's mother that Rongqing and Yingying slept all night but didn't do anything like that.This time he went to Beijing, although he didn't ask Mr. Enhai about the situation, from the tone of the other party, he guessed that Rong Qing must have a woman in Beijing. I've already seen it, the last time you went back to Beijing, things went wrong! Nothing like that.Rong Qing avoided Yuan Liu's gaze, and deliberately forced a smile on his face. Do I have to break it?If you don't eat a toast and eat a fine wine, don't deny it when I tell you.You run back to Beijing, the one who seduces you is a girl! Rong Qing was stunned for a moment, and immediately denied it. Am I wrong? wrong. Don't lie to me.Yuan Liu smiled and said, I have water in my eyes, the girl in the kiln can't hold you back, it must be because you have someone else in your heart, making you worry about it, let your mind wander, can't eat and can't sleep.Maybe that Niuniu, who is promiscuous, has climbed another high branch! You are my big brother, and I will never hide anything from you.Yuan Liu's words suddenly touched Rong Qing's heart disease, and he couldn't help being startled, but he knew very well that if this matter got out, Yin'er wouldn't talk about it, and even his own family members would accompany him in the trouble. really not? Really not. It would be better if not.I put this mental calculation back in my stomach.Yuan Liu asked half-believingly, seeing the other party's serious expression, he thought that he was his brother, so he wouldn't deliberately lie to him.So, he told Rong Qing about the things in Beijing, from the theater troupe in Tianqiao to the brothel in Bada Hutong, and then he talked about the gossip he heard in the capital.The emperor and the empress dowager had political disagreements, and the ministers had disputes over the new policy, among which Prince Rui was the one who opposed it the most. I don't think King Rui is a good guy, Rong Qing hates King Rui in his heart, even though his son is a fool, he married a maid for his son. I think so too.Yuan Liuyi slapped his thigh, grinned and screamed, and told Rong Qing that something evil had happened in Lord Rui's house, and it was spread all over the capital.It turned out that Prince Rui's seventh boy was a fool, and the prince wanted to marry him a wife, so he insisted on asking Lafayette to marry him.Lafayette rewarded him with the maid beside him, but he never expected that the maid hanged herself in the room half a month after passing the door. No way!When Rong Qing heard that Yin'er had died in Rui Wang's house, he was startled and blurted out a sentence. The bastard is talking nonsense!When someone sees it, the body is cold!If you don't believe me, ask your second uncle next time you see him, he knows more about this than I do.Yuan Liu didn't pay attention to Rong Qing's expression at all, he rubbed his two big hands, and continued to talk with spittle everywhere, don't look at Prince Rui as the Minister of Military Aircraft, this will also make him scratch his head.Just in response to that hurdle, stir-fried liver is not called fried liver, it boils the heart and lungs!Just after a wedding and a funeral, the full house changed to the full house.Yuan Liu laughed out loud after speaking. drink!drink wine!Holding the wine glass, Rong Qing felt dizzy.He saw the other party's big flat mouth opening and closing up and down, but couldn't hear what he said at all, and actually didn't want to know, because the most important thing was that Yin'er was dead.He felt that Yin'er took this dead end because of him. He recalled that when he saw her in the wedding party that day, she stared at him with a strange expression on her face, especially when she put down the car curtain, her eyes were full of tears. A certain kind of resoluteness to say goodbye.Why didn't I think of this layer? Rong Qing, you can't drink anymore Yuan Liu noticed that the other party's eyes were wrong, and his tongue grew bigger when he spoke. drink!I'm fine. It's fine to drink another two catties Rong Qing staggered and held the wine glass in his hand, feeling indescribably sore, he raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then picked up the wine pot to fill it up for himself.Yuan Liu was about to reach out to grab the flagon, when the camp commander's pro-army suddenly ran in panting, saying that the commander had something urgent to do and told him to return to the barracks immediately. Rong Qing, drink again next time, follow me back to the barracks.Yuan Liu took the opponent's arm and asked him to walk with him. Brother six!I didn't drink much.Rong Qing said that there was still wine in the jug, and promised to go back after drinking.Yuan Liu smiled helplessly, hesitated for a moment, went to the counter to pay the bill, and at the same time told the hotel owner in a low voice, saying that Rong Qing drank too much, and he couldn't let him drink any more after finishing the pot of wine. He is an acquaintance, so he naturally agreed and asked him to rest assured. After Yuan Liu left, Rong Qing drank alone.After a while, he drank a jug of wine and asked the shopkeeper to bring it for him at a loud voice.The boss came in person, calling out to Mr. Rong Jun, you drank a lot, and the sixth master just explained that you can't let you drink any more.Rong Qing twisted his neck and screamed, took out a handful of copper coins and slapped it on the table: What, I'm afraid I won't give you the money! Drink again tomorrow, drink again tomorrow.The store owner accompanied the smiling face. Take the wine!Rong Qing stretched out his hand and pushed the shop owner away, before I beat you!Seeing the boss smiling at him, he just refused to take the wine, so he got up from the table angrily, and ran to the counter to grab the wine jar.The store owner was in a hurry, and kept saying: We are closed here!Rong Qing acted as if he hadn't heard, picked up the wine jar and went back to the table, poured a full bowl into the large rough porcelain bowl. It was just getting dark, and the girl Ying who held the Yuelou burned incense from the temple and came back from outside the city in a sedan chair.When she got off the sedan chair and walked into the gate of the brothel, Zhang's mother dragged her aside and whispered to him: Lord Rongjun is here. Is it the one who came with Master Liu last time?Yingying asked. it's him. The man is dead, and I don't see him either.When Yingying thinks about what happened that night, she gets angry. She doesn’t say that she didn’t do that kind of thing all night, and she insists that she is worthless. She refuses to admit it, but that bastard kicked her off. bed. He is in your house.Mama Zhang said. Throw him away, or don't blame me for being rude. English!Listen to me, he is a distinguished guest here, and Liu Ye said that his father and uncle are both high-ranking officials in Beijing, so we can't afford to offend him.Zhang's mother coaxed Yingying with good words, and insisted that she never offend him because of the brothel business. Yingying originally wanted to say something, but on second thought it was meaningless to say more, thinking that since you don't want to offend him, let me see how I can punish him.She glanced at Zhang's mother and trot up the stairs.Mama Zhang thought she had listened to her words, so she quickly asked the servant to bring a pot of hot tea to Yingying's room. Yingying pushed open the door, and saw Rong Qing lying on her bed, body convulsively arched like a prawn, lying there vomiting and moaning.She was not happy at first, but when she saw a big puddle of vomit on the floor, and the sheets she had just changed were stained all over by him, she suddenly became furious, rushed forward and violently pulled the sheets on Rong Qing's body, and at the same time let out a Scream: Get out! Rong Qing was lying on the edge of the bed, but when he was pushed by the other party, his body immediately rolled down and fell heavily on the ground.He glanced at Yingying, sat up from the ground with his hands propped up, staring at a pair of blood-red eyes, instead of getting angry, he showed a strange smile on his face, and kept yelling for water. water drink water i want water roll!Go downstairs and drink, don't be drunk here! Good Yiner, no no, good Yinger.I'm not drunk, I'm just suffering from a cold Rong Qing whispered. Drunk or not is none of my business, get out if you want to drink water, I don't have water here, and I don't have gold or silver.Yingying cursed and opened the window, letting the cold wind outside blow away the smell of alcohol in the room.After a while, the person who brought tea came.She asked that person to take Rong Qing away and help her clean the room, and said that she would wait outside for a while, and she would come back after they helped him clean up the dirt in the room.Just as she was about to leave after speaking, Rong Qing got up from the ground, staggered to the door and picked her up, calling Yingying incessantly.Smelling the smell of alcohol in the other party's mouth and the vomited dirt on Rong Qing's body, Yingying moved away in disgust, broke free from his arms, and ran out screaming. After a full meal, Yingying saw the male servant who delivered the water and asked if the room was clean.Has that man gone?The male servant wiped the floor, changed the bedsheets, and Master Rongjun left, so she went upstairs, opened the door and walked into her room.Unexpectedly, Rong Qing hid behind the door, took off his military uniform outside, and wore a set of bluish-gray long gown that he got somewhere temporarily, staring at her in a daze.She turned around and wanted to leave, but Rong Qing leaned against the door and begged in a low voice: Yin'er, no, good Ying'er!I beg you, I've got no home, I've got nothing, I'm a man with nothing Please let me stay here! Do not touch me!Yingying stared at him, pointed at him while stepping back and said, get out, get out, come back later when you understand! I want to drink beer.give me wine! No wine! You have! where is it?Yingying said angrily. Here Rong Qing didn't wait to finish speaking, he rushed forward and hugged her. let me go, let me go!let me go!Drunk cat, drunk!Yingying screamed and beat him desperately, waving her arms.With a loud shout, Rong Qing picked her up, threw her on the bed, and pressed her on top of her desperately.Struggling desperately, she took advantage of Rong Qing's opportunity to reach out and pull her clothes, and pushed him away with all her strength.Rong Qing slumped down to the ground, staring at her blankly, panting like a dog that has seen its bones. What are you looking at?Yingying got up from the bed, buttoned up her shirt, and cast an angry look at Rong Qing who was sitting on the ground, what's the matter, I'm not your hangover soup!Thinking that someone else will make money for me?No way!It's hard to buy or sell things when you have money, the girl is Zhu Bajie waving her hands and not serving (monkey) today! English!I It's useless to say anything, let's go! Rong Qing got up from the ground in frustration, walked towards the door with his head down.Yingying stood there, seeing that he was really going to leave, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. For some reason, she was both jealous and jealous of this military man who always regarded himself as another woman. A kind of good impression, even secretly respect him.No matter who this woman named Yin'er is, even if she is the same as him, at least he is considered a man with affection.It's not like other men who are asleep today, and they don't know each other when they meet on the street tomorrow.她舉著油燈，跟在他身後，準備等他出了門替他照照樓道。 榮慶走到門邊，轉身看一眼英英，然後拉開房門，正想抬腿跨出門檻，突然那黑乎乎的門外撲進一股涼風，渾身不由得打了個冷顫。想到吟兒死了，這世上他再也沒有這樣一個女人讓他等讓他想讓他操心了，心裡湧出一種前所未有的空落。no no no!這外面的世界再也不屬於我。他縮回身子，反手將門插上，兩眼緊緊盯著眼前這個女人，竭力從她臉上那隱隱若現的笑意中尋找著他活下去的意義。 What do you want to do?英英本能地後退一步，她從他眼神中讀到某種內容，這是她熟悉的卻並不喜歡的許多男人所共有的。 不等她話音落下，他已經像頭惡狼似地撲上來，打翻了她手中的油燈，在一片黑暗中將她再次抱起按在床上，瘋狂地撕扯著她的衣服。英英大叫著要他放手：放開我，我不樂意！不樂意他根本不理會她，一邊喘氣一邊扯掉她的外衣。她開始拚命掙扎，後來不怎麼掙扎，再後來索性閉上眼，由他接著自己又親又吻。當他時不時地把她當作另外一女人，不斷叫著吟兒時，英英心頭一顫，禁不住哭了
